Things that please you...

Medical aid and radiologists were messing things up so they kept saying I owed them money. Eventually they fix their story and I end up getting credit.

So I was rather pleased when I told the debt collector that actually the radiologists paid me instead of me paying them. :laugh:
 
Having a ureteral stent removed.

I have been through many things in my life but that...that was a whole other type of experience altogether...

Oh yes.

What a ****ing unpleasant device. Hell on earth.

Did you also have it pulled out under local?

They injected some sort of numbing gel (not that it numbed anything) and then from there on out I sort of blanked out probably from trauma. But I know some pipes and grabby arms and a machine pumping water was involved. The nurse/assistant was like 'breathe slow and deep' for a bit, then 'breathe normal and shallow', which I think is just to keep one's mind off the penile assault that I just went through.

Longest minute and a half of my life, if not for the clock on the wall I would have sworn they were busy for at least half an hour.

Heh. Same as me.
The anaesthetic burned like a mother ****er and then they pump your bladder full of water and you feel like if you don't pee you're going to burst but you can't and dear god the trauma.

Wouldn't wish it on julius malema.

But when you have a proper, full volume full flow pee without your kidney trying to kill you it's like all the orgasms

I must say by the end of the weekend I was feeling good - still had hectic spasms every time I went to pee but other than that it was manageable. Considering I had the lithotripsy done on Wednesday evening.

I stopped my oxycodone on Sunday evening, but took one now to see me through the night - got some hectic spasms and the burning sensation also returned. Gonna sleep like a champ tonight I rate.

Looking forward to having normal bladder and kidney function restored.

Drink your water, kids.
 
Perused the cover of the latest Men's Health magazine - man those headlines haven't changed in 20 years!
Maybe I'll get one, see how I can be over 40 and fitter than ever.
